Overview

Foreword by R. C. Sproul. Written in an inoffensive yet honest way, Robert Reymond has studied the essential divisions between Roman Catholics and the Reformed church to find out the real issues and points of conflict. Reymond looks at historical watersheds of doctrine, the development of Roman Catholic authority and contemporary attempts at rapprochement (including 'Evangelicals and Catholics Together' and Robert Sungenis' 'Not by Faith Alone'). In doing so he helps us understand the great truths of salvation worked out through the sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah.

The Christian public is indebted to Dr. Reymond for producing such a lucid and incisive volume evaluating modern attempts to rejoin Protestant churches with the Roman Catholic Church... The reader will be well informed by this decisive, but irenic, rejection of the notion that the Roman Church has always embraced the biblical concept of justification by faith. --Richard Mayhue Research Professor of Theology Emeritus, The Master's Seminary, Sun Valley, California

Roman Catholicism brings works into it by some form or other, therefore denying the clear words of Holy Scripture. -- British Church Newspaper Dr Reymond clearly demonstrates in this monograph that there are serious doctrinal differences between the Roman catholic teaching and Biblical Christianity... I am confident the reader will find this work clear, fair and accurate. I highly commend its close reading -- Dr. R. C. Sproul ((1939 - 2017) Founder & Chairman of Ligonier Ministries, Orlando, Florida) the serious purpose of the work - that the true gospel and the salvation of souls are at stake - make this recommended reading for contemporary evangelicals. -- Banner of Truth Dr Reymond calls us straight to justification by faith as the central issue of the conflict; so immediately we know where we stand and why. The argument is clear, whether he is demonstrating the flawed basis of authority in Rome or expressing disappointment at J I Packer's signing of Evangelical and Catholics Together. -- Evangelical Times
